The Cutest Way to Dry Off ~ Think Geek Kids Hooded Towels Review

kids_hooded_towels2

Conquer the bath with one eye or one horn!

“These hooded bath towels work best as a pair. Why? Who is better equipped to defeat a monster with one eye than a mythical creature with one horn? Of course, there’s only one way the battle could end. Horn beats Eye every time. Unless the eye can shoot lasers, but we’re not sure. You see, these products are powered by wee geeks’ imaginations, so only they know their true powers.

NEW: How about a Shark? He’s not magical, but he has one big fin and will chomp on your head to get you dry.

Fluffy and thirsty to soak up lots of water, these hooded towels are as cozy as they are adorable. They’re made of 100% cotton terry cloth and can be machine washed with the rest of your towels. They’re even made in the USA, which everyone knows is the stomping ground of young unicorns and fledgling monsters.”-Think Geek

Product Specifications

  • Hooded towels for kids aged 2 and up
  • Towels are 54"x30" (plus hood)
  • Fluffy and thirsty to soak up lots and lots of water
  • Choose: Mitch Monster (one eye), Eura Unicorn (one horn), Shark (one fin!)
  • If Eura Parent of a wee geek, don’t be a Mitch. Get your kid a fun towel!
  • Makes bath time so much fun (even more than a rubber ducky)
  • 100% cotton terry cloth, machine washable
  • Made in the U.S.A.

Aren’t these towels just adorable?! I got the Eura Unicorn for my little girl and it is so stinkin’ cute.  Even cuter in person than in the pictures (if that is even possible).  I love that it is nice and big and made of cotton terry cloth so it really does it’s job when it comes to drying off your kids.  I don’t know if you have tried other kids hooded towels but a lot of them are thin and small.  These towels are not like that at all.  It is a really nice towel both in fabric and size.  Like an adult towel but with a hood (and much much cuter).  Another great thing is that I can wash it wish the rest of my towels. Easy!

These towels are so cute you just have to get one for your little princess or little monster! Just imagine how cute bath time will be…

The Natural Solution for Teething Pain ~ Hazelaid Review and $25 GC Giveaway

Hazelaid4I came across Hazelaid when E was a baby. He had some issues with reflux, and I was looking for some natural solutions to help ease his discomfort. I found that Hazelwood might be a good alternative to the medicine he was prescribed. I didn’t end up buying a necklace but Hazelaid recently sent me one and I am so excited to have it!! I am worried that this next baby will have some sort of reflux and if it is anything like my sons…I will definitely be pulling out our Hazelaid necklace! They are also a great natural solution for teething pain, and every baby has to go through that!!

hazelaid

“Hazelwood products help to create an alkaline environment in your body which may help prevent and appease many of the symptoms caused by acidosis (being too acidic).

The use of hazelwood jewelry originated long ago when Aboriginal people discovered that they could put hazelwood chips on their babies’ necks to soothe teething pains. This lost art was revived only a decade ago when a few companies in Quebec,hazelaid2 Canada (where the hazelwood trees grow indigenously) rediscovered the unique properties of hazelwood. Since then hazelwood has grown in popularity as more and more people have experienced its benefits.  Most notably, Hazelwood has been able to help many people with skin issues such as eczema, providing a natural alternative to many of the more expensive, intensive, and messy treatments.”

“Hazelaid was born when our family was introduced to the amazing healing properties of hazelwood products.  These necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelry made with pieces of wood from the hazelnut tree have the unique property of absorbing the excess acid produced in our bodies when it is in contact with our skin.”

hazelaid5I always like to try a natural approach to any ailment especially when it comes to my kids. These Hazelaid necklaces are safe and that makes me feel good about letting my child wear them. I received the Milk & Butter Necklace from Hazelaid. It is a combination of Hazelwood and Amber. Amber is a natural remedy for pain relief so this necklace does double duty!! It is 11 inches long (perfect for a little neck) and it has silver plated nickel ‘lobster claw’ style clasps. It would look great on a boy or a girl.

hazelaid6

Of course, Hazelaid Necklaces aren’t just for children. They also have adult sizes. There are some really pretty colors available and they are totally something I would wear everyday. You can also get bracelets if that is more your style. These necklaces can help with digestion, constipation, eczema, migraines, acid reflux, heart burn, nausea, arthritis, skin problems, etc. I really want to try one for my migraines. Hazelaid3It would be so much better than my medication that gives me crazy side effects!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Great for children & adults
  • Necklaces come in 11 inches, 13.5 inches, 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, and 22 inches.
  • Helps with a variety of ailments
  • Safe & natural
  • Great for teething
  • Looks great too!

Dino Dan: Dino Trackers DVD Review and Giveaway

 

“Did you know that a Brachiosaurus weighed up to 80 tons and a T-Rex could eat up to 500 pounds of meat in one bite?  Avid fans of "Dino Dan," Nick Jr.’s adventure-filled live action/CGI series, do!  Now, the popular “paleontologist approved” show is available on DVD with “Dino Dan – Dino Trackers,” the premiere title in a brand new series from NCircle Entertainment.

dinodan

The “Dino Dan – Dino Trackers” DVD contains five adventure stories featuring a boy nicknamed Dino Dan (played by Jason Spevack).  He’s a curious 10-year-old who imagines there are real dinosaurs living all around him – but only he can see them!  The DVD’s interactive bonus content adds to the enjoyment.  It is priced at $12.99 suggested retail.”

Bug is a HUGE Dino Dan fan.  He loves each episode and has learned a lot about Dinosaurs from watching it.  So he was beyond excited to now have Dino Dan on DVD.  He loves that he can watch it anytime on DVD and loves all 5 episodes on the DVD.  This is a must have for Dino Dan fans or Dinosaur fans!

image
“Dinosaurs never lose their appeal to kids of all ages – but what makes the “Dino Dan” series unique is that it was developed under the guidance of paleontologists at Canada’s Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta. In fact, a real-life paleontologist at the museum named Dr. Don Henderson is the inspiration for the “Dino Dan” character!”

Did you know?

•a Brachiosaurus could live up to one hundred years!
•a Corythosaurus dinosaur had a large protective plate on top of its head.
•a Spinosaurus had bony rods on its back that held up a “sail” made of skin.

Dino Dan Dino Trackers DVD is available online and in stores now!

Dapper Snappers Big Kids Belts Review and $25 GC Giveaway

 

As Bug gets older I find it harder and harder to find pants that fit him right, so I imagehave been on the lookout for Boys Belts.  But with his age it is really hard to find belts he can actually buckle and un-buckle himself.  That is why I was thrilled to learn that Dapper Snappers now has Big Kids Belts! 

We reviewed Dapper Snappers a while back, you can read our Dapper Snappers review to see how we really like them.  Now I was excited to try out their new belts for kids.

When the belts arrived I was impressed right away.  The belt itself is fully adjustable making it possible to get a lot of use out of it as it grows with your  child.  It is made of suspender elastic so it gives a snug fit that is comfortable.  The best part is the buckle.  It is a magnet!  So 4 year old Bug can easily buckle and un-buckle it all by himself. 

It is really cute to see how Bug now feels like he is a “Big Boy” with his new belts.  He says with a huge smile “Dad look, I have a belt too”. 

They come in a variety of colors and fun patterns to match any outfit.

Dapper Snappers make wonderful Kids Belts and I highly recommend them!

Zooper Tango Double Stroller Review and Giveaway ($499 Value!)

 

zooper1

I LOVE my new Zooper Tango Double Stroller!  It is a high quality stroller with fabulous features!  Watch my video review below to see how it functions and what I love about it:

 image

As you can see it is a GREAT stroller with many features to make your trip out and about with kids easy and comfortable.  It provides a very smooth ride thanks to the four independent wheel suspensions.  Your child can easily stay asleep while riding even when going over bumps.  You can push and turn this stroller with just one hand.  It turns on a dime and is effortless!

IMAG1353IMAG1361

IMAG1343

 

 

Each seat has it’s own individual recline and can be reclined to 4 different positions.  When reclined fully your child is laying in a flat position perfect for little ones who need to take naps while you are out and about.

One hand recline makes it very easy to recline and adjust the backrest.

image 

It has 2 separate canopy’s for each seat.  You can see the canopy’s full coverage in the images below: upright seat position (left) reclined position (right).

IMAG1348IMAG1344

IMAG1347

 

 

 

There is also an infant safety enclosure net on each canopy.  It provides security for your baby.  You can also unzip it (as shown) for air flow to your child or to check on them.

 

 

 

It comes with 2 infant head rest inserts (shown on the left) and has a 5 point harness system which is easy for an adult to buckle and un-buckle (not easy for a child).

IMAG1351

It also comes with 2 additional arm rest bars providing more leg room for older children.  All armrests are removable and are extremely easy to remove and reconnect.

IMAG1376

Large utility basket underneath can hold a large diaper bag as well as other items and bags.  Great for holding everything you need on your day out.

IMAG1340

  Zipper provides side access to the storage basket.  This is great because if both children are fully reclined you won’t be able to access the basket from the back.  With this feature you will still have access to cargo underneath.

IMAG1355

Both canopy’s have a large storage pocket as well as a smaller pocket with a flap closure. Great for storing pacifiers, wipes, cell phones, car keys, toys, etc…IMAG1373

It also has a removable cup holder on the side for holding baby bottles, water bottles, and or sippy cups.

IMAG1341

 

It also comes with a sun shade and foot muff accessory. Sun shade provides shade from the sun while still allowing your children to see the environment around them.  The foot muff covers both children and protects from the wind and rain (is water resistant).  Both are easy to put on and take off.  IMAG1371IMAG1368

The Tango is easy to open and to fold.  Once folded it stands on it’s own.  Folded it measures 42” x 30” x 14”.

IMAG1364IMAG1365

It comes with one infant car seat fastening belt which secures your infant car seat to the stroller.zooperinfant

I love the Zooper Tango side by side double stroller and highly recommend it!

Keeps Food & Dishes Where They Belong ~ Highchair-Helper Baby Placemats Review and Giveaway (2 winners!) [CLOSED]

helper“No more fumbling with suction cups that don’t hold or breaking out the cleaning supplies because your child pushed their food off the tray again. Ending spills is as easy as placing the Highchair-Helper on your tray and then putting your baby or toddler dishes on top. Cleanups go from using the vacuum or broom to just wiping the tray with ordinary water. Stop buying special dishes that don’t hold or those other baby placemats that barely prevent sliding and step up to the last child place mat you will ever need.”

helper3

The Highchair-Helper is a pretty cool little product. For toddlers like my son, who want to try out their independence but aren’t quite coordinated to do it all helper1themselves, it is a life-saver (or a sanity-saver). We no longer use the highchair for E during meal-time, but that is ok because the Highchair-Helper can also be used at the regular table. It’s basically a sticky placemat that keeps dishes from moving & sliding around so much. I have spent money on toddler dishes with the suction cups and they never stuck well to any surface. The Highchair Helper is a great alternative to keep food & dishes where they belong!! You won’t find any other toddler placemats Kim_Sig_Pinkthat compare to this one!

Lately we have been having a lot of spills at meal time.  Mainly with drinks. It is most likely because 4 year old Bug has so much energy these days.  I think he just gets a little to excited and then accidentally knocks over his drink.  I could helper2just go back to the sippy but he insists on using a “big boy” cup. I was getting frustrated but didn’t know what to do.  When I heard about the Highchair-Helper I knew it was the solution I was looking for.  The Highchair-helper isn’t just for high-chairs you can use it as a toddler placemat on any surface.  So we have started using it on Bug’s little table where he eats and it has been really great.  The Highchair-Helper is sticky and holds his cup in place.  It doesn’t completely eliminate spills but it has given us a significant improvement.  I love that if it loses it’s stickiness it is easy to clean with just water and goes right back to being sticky again.  I will definitely continue to use this with Bug and with the new baby as a baby placemat on the highchair once Heidi_Sig_Orangehe/she arrives.  It will be so nice to stick a bowl to the highchair-helper so then baby won’t be able to grab it and spill it all.  I recommend the Highchair-Helper to all parents of baby’s and toddlers, it’s a must have!

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

  • Comes in Pink or Bluehelper4
  • Easily cleans with water
  • Save Money by using your own dishes and containers
  • Builds Confidence and Independence in your child while eating
  • Durable and long lasting
  • BPA-free, Phthalate-free, and PVC-free

New Zany Zoo Plush Hold-On Handles Review

ZZ-Monkey-Handle-web-150x150

Now that I have 2 little ones I have noticed how much harder it is to get around. My 3 yr old gets upset she can’t ride in the stroller and so now I have to teach her the safety of teaching her to stay close by Mom. I love the Zany Zoo Plush Hold-On Handles and so does Leah. What I really love is how easy and fun they are to use. I attach it to the stroller and Leah holds the other end, I still have to teach her about staying close but now I know we are connected.

Double Handle Set”At the mall or around town, you can count on your children wanting to get out of the stroller. And when they do, few things can make you look and feel less in control than them roaming too far behind or ahead of you.

Finally, a simple way to keep your children within arm’s reach without restraining them with embarrassing leashes or harnesses. Hold-On Handles are designed to be versatile enough to attach to a stroller or to use solo as a walking rope. Children LOVE to hold on to the whimsical handles—and their new found independence.

A Must-Have Stroller Accessory When Mom Is “Out-Handed”

When children want to get out of the stroller and walk at inopportune times, Hold-On Handles gives you the extra set of hands you need to keep your child safely near you, allowing you to push the stroller, carry bags and gear—and maintain your composure.

A Reinvented Walking Rope Designed With Mom In Mind

Worn comfortably on an adult’s wrist, belt loop or bag, Hold-On Handles are the ideal accessory to use while running errands or visiting an amusement park, zoo, or other special event, eliminating the need to always drag out the stroller.”

The Zany Zoo Hold on Handles really teach your children to stay close by and to also obey Mom and Dad. There are so many really cute ones to choose from and your kids will feel so grown up using them! I love to use them while going grocery shopping, to the mall or zoo or just on a walk around the neighborhood. These are perfect for any Mom!

The Zany Zoo Plush Hold-On Handles can be purchased at www.greaterthanonekids.com

Baby Cargo 300 Series Ultra Lightweight Umbrella Stroller Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

babycargo1

“Baby Cargo ultra lightweight strollers are made for traveling in your neighborhood and beyond!  All weigh under 16 pounds. Baby Cargo will appeal to parents that seek out modern baby gear that fit into their existing home and lifestyle.”-Baby Cargo image

“Imagine an ideal marriage of tailored design and thoughtful engineering and simplytaupe you have Baby Cargo’s 300 Series Stroller. We put fit and finish at the top of our wish list — embossed fabrics, custom colors and a sleek frame. But a few smart touches — a padded, multi-position seat, wipe-clean materials, a weather protective rain fly — make the ride a little smoother for baby, and mom and dad, too.”-Baby Cargo

As a mom, for me a lightweight umbrella stroller is a must have.  Whether it’s running errands, shopping, or going to the park, I like having a compact stroller in my trunk at the ready.  I love the Baby Cargo 300 Series stroller because it is a quality lightweight stroller that folds very compactly.  I was pleasantly surprised when I first folded it and saw just how compact it is.  I can easily keep it in my trunk and still have a ton of room to spare.

The lightweight aspect of it is heavenly.  Especially with me being pregnant right now.  I can easily lift it in and out of the trunk without risking hurting myself.  In fact this stroller weighs in at only 15.8 lbs!image

I am loving how easy it is to fold and unfold, as well as how easy the brakes are to use.  I can simply use my foot for all of these things.

The basket on the bottom isn’t very big, but I can fit a small or medium sized diaper bag in it.  There are also 2 pockets under there as well, perfect for water bottles, sippy cups, or baby bottles.  There is also a cup holder that comes with it that you can attach to the back of the stroller (up near the handles).

Probably my second favorite feature of this stroller is that it reclines.  A lot of umbrella strollers don’t have that option and this one reclines quite a bit. Definitely enough to allow your child to nap while you are out and about.  I also like that the canopy is nice and high allowing taller children to fit.  My 4 year old fits comfortably in this stroller with head space to spare.  Making it a great choice since you can use it from birth to 50 lbs.

Things that are Brag Worthy: Raincover

    • Ultra-lightweight black matte aluminum frame—sleek and rust free
    • Soft sophisticated textiles, easy to clean
    • Tailored designed back pocket with a decorative brass Baby Cargo name plate, chic and practical for moms
    • Super compact, easy to fold, perfect for vacations or trips to the shopping mall 
    • A padded seat and multi-position adjustable backrest and  adjustable leg rest
    • Comes with a cup holder & rain cover.
    • Easy to carry with shoulder strap and handle
    • Five-point safety harness with padded guards
    • Adjustable canopy tall enough to accommodate older children.
    • Under stroller cargo 
    • Use it from birth to 50 lbs.

Saline Soothers Moisturizing Nose Wipes Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

soothers1Winter season is rough!! There are so many germs hanging around and you never know what you or your family is going to come down with. Chances are, whatever sickness you (hopefully don’t) pick up, it will come with that nasty running nose.

“Saline Soothers are the best alternative to dry tissues for noses that know better.”

soothers3

Our Saline Soothers Moisturizing Nose Wipes came at the perfect time!! My son came down with a cold a few days before and his nose was getting pretty sore from all the wiping. I was at the point where I soothers2didn’t bother cleaning it unless we were going to be out in public because it was so painful for him. His nose was practically caked with snot (I know….proves how great of a mother I am) when I couldn’t look at it anymore. So I immediately opened the Saline Soothers and they were honestly amazing. It took about 1 second to clean up his nose. The best part was that he didn’t cry at all….he didn’t even put up a fight!! I am definitely going to keep these moisturizing nose wipes stocked in my house.

Saline Soothers are perfect for anyone who needs a gentle alternative to tissues. I haven’t had a cold this season but you can bet I will be using these wipes if I get one. They even come in two different kinds: Fragrance Free and Menthol so you can choose what is best for you and your family.

Things that are BRAG WORTHY:

bulletSaline (Sodium Chloride) is a mineral found naturally in soothers5the earth that excels at dissolving mucus when used in the right concentration.

bulletDry tissues can chap your nose and those with aloe can leave a filmy residue on your skin. Not so with Saline Soothers.

bulletPre-moistened with natural saline, vitamin E, and aloe, Saline Soothers are designed to do just that – soothe.

bulletSaline cleans and helps dissolve mucus, while moisturizing aloe and vitamin E keep your nose looking and soothers6feeling up to snuff.

Wall Decals for Kid’s Room Decoration ~ Leo Wall Stickers Review and Giveaway [CLOSED]

[Room]fam_10_1_jpg 

I think it is so much fun decorating my house.  Probably my favorite rooms to decorate are kids rooms.  Recently we did a little mini makeover on Bug’s jungle room and when I saw these Wall Decals for kids room decoration at Leo Wall Stickers I knew they would be the perfect addition to Bug’s room.  I immediately fell in love with the jungle themed stickers and they are perfect for his decor.

leowallstickersjungle

First I want to show you the before and after pictures of his room. (Then I will talk about applying them).  The stickers have made his room so much fun!  They are bright and crisp images that look fantastic against his lime green walls.  Especially the monkeys, they are so adorable above his loft bed.

IMAG1228

IMAG1276  IMAG1268 

IMAG1216 IMAG1248

IMAG1229

IMAG1277  IMAG1271 

Putting the stickers up was easier than I thought it would be.  They send a great little flyer with really good instructions as well as a Leo Squeegee application tool.  Here is how easy it is to apply the small stickers:

First you want to make sure your wall surface is clean and dry.  Then you peel off the backing paper slowly, making sure the sticker stays on the sticky side.

 IMAG1235 IMAG1239

Next you stick it on the wall where you want it to be.

IMAG1240

Use the Leo Squeegee application tool that was included in your shipment to press the sticker to the wall.

IMAG1242

Then you slowly remove the sticky paper at an angle making sure the sticker stays on the wall.

IMAG1243

Press down on the sticker with your hand to make sure it is all sticking to the wall.

IMAG1245

For larger stickers the process is slightly different:

First you have to place the whole thing (with backing paper) on the wall where you want it.  Then place tape across the middle.

IMAG1262

Peel the top half off of the backing paper.

IMAG1264

Cut the backing paper away.

IMAG1265

Stick the top half of the sticker on the wall.

Repeat the same process for the bottom half.IMAG1266

Use the Leo Squeegee to flatten it all to the wall.

Remove the sticky paper slowly at an angle.

Press down on the sticker with your hand to make sure it is all sticking to the wall.

IMAG1268 

Like I said I found the process easy but it was time consuming so make sure you have plenty of time set aside to do it.  I am loving how Bug’s room looks now that he has these Leo Stickers and he LOVES it even more than I do.  He said “Wow, my room looks cool!”

Leo Wall Stickers have so many fun wall stickers for kids bedrooms.  I know you will find the perfect stickers for your child’s room!

When I was a little girl I loved playing with my Barbie dolls.  I had a ton of them and a lot of clothes and accessories.  But what stands out most in my mind was my dollhouse that I used to play with them.  I had so much fun playing with my dolls in my dollhouse. Fond memories.  That is why I think every little girl should have a dollhouse.  So as I looked into dollhouses, I came across this Step2  Three Story Deluxe Dollhouse with Balcony.  I immediately knew it was perfect. 

We own many Step2 products and they are all wonderful.  Step2 to me means quality toys that are durable and made to last.  That is why I think this dollhouse is perfect.  It’s sturdy and durable so you can give it to a toddler and she will be able to play with it well into her childhood.  I like that it is really easy to assemble and only took us about 15 minutes total.  The size of this dollhouse is great.  It is nice and big so more than one child can play at the same time.  But it is still lightweight enough that I can easily move it around if I need to.  I love the pink and white colors, so feminine and adorable!

This is a great quality dollhouse that every girl would love to have!  I highly recommend it as I know it will last for years and years.

This dollhouse is sure to MAKE Christmas morning for your little girl!

BT_TownHallPlay Until now Bug has never seen Richard Scarry’s Busytown.  The characters are so cute and I remember loving it as a child, but somehow I had neglected to share it with Bug.   So it was a lot of fun to receive the town hall playset since it also comes with a DVD.  Bug loved the show and immediately became a fan.  He has spent hours playing with the town hall playset and is requesting more sets and Busytown toys for Christmas.  These Busytown toys are so much fun and a great Christmas gift idea.  I recommend starting with the town hall playset since it is so much fun and a must have for the sets!

“According to an Amazon.com study, 75% of baby registry users have at least one online registry. For expecting parents, a number of factors come into play when selecting necessities for the new addition and Amazon offers them all. imageimage

 

  • For first time parents or those unsure on the must-have items, the new Jumpstart Tool will walk you through 15 registry essentials to consider, swingshowing the most popular items from  bottles to swings to car seats.

 

  • For those items you just can’t live without, but can’t find on Amazon, the Amazon registry is a universal registry. When you get the universal “add to registry” button you can add more products to your registry from any website. Now you really can register for practical, must-have items and fun, fanciful gifts all in one place!

  • For duplicates and items you just don’t need, Amazon offers Free 365-Day Returns. Just visit the online returns center to get a prepaid mailing label. Eligible baby product(s) in new and unopened condition received within 365 days from date of delivery result in a full refund with no deduction for shipping.”

I am so excited for baby number two to arrive!  Since I found out I was pregnant I knew I needed to create an online baby registry but hadn’t done it.  Today I decided to register for my baby at Amazon.com and I am loving it!  I love how easy the registry is to use. I love that I have my own link to my registry page that I can give out to friends and family. I love Amazon’s low prices so I’m glad my friends and family will be able to save when buying baby gifts for us. It is really cool that I can add items that I can’t find on Amazon through the universal registry option.  That is sooooo cool! I am having a great time picking out items for my registry and Amazon makes it really easy with suggestions and guides of what I will need for baby.

If your expecting or know a mom who is I recommend using Amazon.com Baby Registry!  Sign up today! It’s the perfect way to tell friends and family what you want for baby this Christmas.
